The nation's leading infectious diseases expert, said Tuesday that as many as 400,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 if action isn’t taken in the fall and winter.
Fauci told attendees of a virtual event held by American University that between 300,000 and 400,000 could die from coronavirus in the country.
“The models tell us if we don't do what we need to in the fall and winter, we could have 300,000-400,000 COVID-19 deaths," American University quoted the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as saying.
Fauci’s prediction goes beyond a University of Washington study from August that said as many as 300,000 people could die of COVID-19 by Dec. 1.
As of Wednesday morning, the U.S. has recorded 210,918 deaths and more than 7.5 million confirmed infections of COVID-19, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
Fauci also asserted on Tuesday that a vaccine will probably not be available to most Americans until next summer or the fall, aligning with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield’s Senate testimony last month. Fauci said during an event on Monday that this means life may not return to normal until the end of next year.
At the American University virtual event, Fauci acknowledged the decreasing trust in him as a public official, especially among Republicans and those who believe the country needs to reopen fully.
"Maybe 50 percent of you hate me because you think I'm trying to destroy the country, but listen to me for six weeks or so, and do what I say, and you'll see the numbers go down," Fauci pleaded, according to the university.

For the state of Michigan. The math is really interesting.
Fauci is a little fascist puke. Not credible, can his sorry ass.
It is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE ADS COVER UP THE ARTICLE.
CLICK BAIT HAS NO BUSINESS BEING ON FREE REPUBLIC!!!!!!!!!!
Correction...fake-shi is a useless, condescending, worthless bureaucrat. The tool has no integrity. It is truly pathetic that taxpayers are forced to pay this nitwit.
“The nation’s leading infectious diseases expert, said...”
When you start out with a lie, I dismiss everything else you say. Then again, it’s the 50 IQ commie apes at The Hill, so this crap is to be expected.
I can't speak to his expertise in virology other than his earlier imbroglio over the AIDs virus in which he claimed it was the US that discovered the virus. The Nobel Prize committee settled that issue when they awarded the prize to the French.
In terms of epidemiology, I've been stunned by the totally false claims of some of the epidemiologists. I wouldn't expect Fauci to have an understanding of statistics but an epidemiologist darn well should. Maybe some of their comments were mis-reported by the journalists.
